Power BI Development in Derby
Power BI reports and models for Derby organisations already running Microsoft 365. Most Power BI problems people describe as performance or licensing issues are actually modelling issues — a report built on a flat table imported from Excel will be slow and fragile no matter which capacity it runs on.
Why this comes up
The problem
Someone built reports in Power BI, they are slow, refreshes fail, and the person who understood the model has left. Nobody is confident enough in the numbers to use them in a board pack.
What you get
What we deliver
- A proper star-schema model, which fixes most performance and logic problems at once
- DAX measures written once and reused, rather than repeated per visual
- Scheduled refresh working reliably, including gateway setup for on-premise sources
- Row-level security so one report serves many audiences safely
- Licensing reviewed honestly — Pro, Premium Per User or capacity, per your actual usage
- Documentation of the model, so it survives whoever built it

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Power BI Development in Derby — common questions
- Why is our Power BI report slow?
- Usually the data model rather than the volume. Flat wide tables, DAX calculating over unfiltered data, and calculated columns doing work that belongs upstream are the common causes. Restructuring to a star schema typically fixes speed and inconsistent totals together.
- Which licence do we need?
- Pro suffices for most organisations sharing reports internally. Premium Per User adds larger models and more frequent refreshes for heavier users; capacity licensing makes sense at scale or when distributing to many viewers. It is worth checking against real usage rather than assumed growth.
- Why do refreshes keep failing?
- Commonly a gateway problem for on-premise sources, expired credentials, or a model too large for the licence tier. The failure message is often unhelpful, but the underlying causes are a short and repetitive list.
- Can one report serve different teams?
- Yes, with row-level security — each person sees their own region, branch or client from the same report. It is far more maintainable than duplicating a report per team, which is how organisations end up with forty near-identical files.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
